Poison Prevention
By Rebecca M, Walker
This week I would like to call ;
Wheeler Countians attention to a;
special observance — poison pre-'
vention week.
Advances in the fields of health
and medicine have brought ad
vantages to our children unknown
just a few short years ago. Mea
sles and polio vaccines are ex- •
amples. But these are advantages
only if you make use of them.
Although there are no vaccines
against poisoning accidents, we
do know how to prevent their oc
currence.
Poison prevention campaigns
are only as effective as our wil
lingness to take -the time to
inform ourselves about the prob
lem and to do something about it.
Remember, hundreds of thous
ands of household products and
medicines on the market today
are effective when they are used
as directed or intended. When
they are misused, there is a dan
ger of poisoning.
We cannot stop a child from
exploring his environment nor
should we. However, we can
eliminate the hazard and make
the environment a safe one.
Just what are some of these po
tentially poisonous substances?
Medicines, cleaners, insect sprays,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid,
some furniture polishes, turpen
tine, paint solvents and products
containing lye and caustics are
most frequently the products in
volved in reports of accidental
poisoning among children.
Never leave any of these prod
ucts within reach of a young
child. Return them to a safe place
immediately after using. If nec
essary, take the container with
you when you answer the tele-
J phone or doorbell.
Clean out your medicine chest, i
Get rid of old drugs. Pour con- '
tents down the drain or bowl and I
rinse container before discarding, j
Do not put the container and con- ,
! tents into the garbage can.
I So let’s help make Wheeler
County a safer place in which to
live. Now, during poison preven
tion week is a good time to re- [
• move those potential dangers
around your home.
SOCIAL SECURITY
NEWS & VIEWS
Mothers, if you’re drawing a j
. monthly retirement or disability
social security check, and you [
have a child who failed to quali- j
fy on your work record, the re- i
cent changes in Social Security |
may now make the child eligi- I
ble.
| This includes children under
age 18, full-time students age 19
through 21, and children who be
came disabled before age 18. Foi'
further information contact the
Social Security office in Dublin,
at 114 E. Johnson St. or call 272-
5347.
Q. My claim for social security
benefits for our children was de
nied when my wife died. I was
told it was because my wife had
not. worked for several years. Do
• the recent improvements in the
|law make any change?
A. Yes! Under the old law, ben
• efits could be paid to surviving
• children of a woman worker only
■ i if she had worked recently under
' social security or a special sup
1. port test was met. New benefits
‘ may be paid to children of a fe
:male worker if she has enough
'; work credits (earned at any time)
to be “fully insured.’’ In other
■lwords, children can now qualify
' on their mother’s record under
the same requirements needed to
; qualify on the father’s record.
'| Q. I received a card telling me
my son will be dropped from so
i cial security benefits unless he
! continues in school. He cannot go
to school because he is mentally
retarded and cannot hear. He will
be 1 Bin January. I thought dis
iabled children could keep draw
ing checks. What can I do?
I A. You should get in touch with
। the nearest social security office
about your son. If your son has
ja severe mental impairment, it
•is possible that monthly benefits
'may be continued for him beyond
•age 18. You should contact our

Program Lauded
By Gov. Maddox
Highly praising those engaged
in the preservation of the soil and
water resources, Gov. Lester G.
Maddox told the Broad River Soil
and Water Conservation District
Supervisors’ recent meeting in
Homer that “I consider your ef
forts as important as any that are
being made to boost the progress
and prosperity of our state.”
The governor than cautioned
his audience that “We must be
eternally vigilant in the conser
vation of our rights and liberties
as Americans.”
“If you and I, and others in
the nation, place fear of loss or
hope of gain ahead of a staunch
defense of our liberties and our

freedoms, we run the risk of los
ing our goods and our precious
freedoms as well,” he said.
“This country grew to great
[ ness because we had a private
free enterprise system, and if we
[ are to maintain our wealth and
our strength, we must defend and
preserve it in the face of those
who would weaken and destroy
it.”
Gov. Maddox told the group
that the private free enterprise
system could do more to offer
opportunities to “underpriviliged
people than all the handouts and
giveaways that can be devised,”
and he warned that “we must
speak out against the trend in
this nation to bribe mobs from
violenece as well as the trend to
rob those in the lower levels of
society of their initiative and will
to self-sufficiency.”
